The Rumps on the South West Coast Path isn’t just scenery. It’s a 2,000-year-old Iron Age cliff fort. Roundhouses once stood here, protected by ramparts and the sheer Atlantic cliffs.

The South West Coast Path is one of the most spectacular hiking routes in Europe, but the cliffs — especially around places like The Rumps — can be genuinely dangerous if you’re not paying attention.
